Acumin
Acumin is a humanist neo-grotesque sans serif designed by Robert Slimbach for Adobe, featuring subtle humanist characteristics within a clean, contemporary framework. The typeface exhibits moderate stroke contrast and open apertures that enhance readability across various sizes. Its distinctive features include slightly flared terminals, a generous x-height, and carefully balanced character proportions that give it warmth without sacrificing the clarity expected of modern sans serifs. The design successfully bridges the gap between geometric precision and organic humanity, making it versatile for both digital and print applications.
Doorkijkvers
The typography communicates contemplative, literary sophistication with a distinctly European sensibility. The curved text following the circular die-cut creates an intimate, almost whispered quality that invites close reading and reflection. This typographic approach feels meditative and deliberately unhurried, perfectly matching the project's goal of encouraging participants to slow down and observe.
Poesia no Centro festival
This typography system channels the raw, democratic energy of São Paulo's urban signage landscape—transforming street-level cacophony into cultural sophistication. The condensed, industrial character of Plaak creates an unapologetically bold presence that speaks to poetry as an accessible, street-level art form rather than elite literary tradition.
